A stylist works on photo shoots, creating superb sets, supplying necessary items (and moves them mere centimeters until it is just so), and creates the mood for photographs used in advertising or editorial capacities. Beth Wickwire’s decade-old experience in prop styling has provided her with the imaginative mind to make every set-up exceed a lot of client’s expectations. 

Beth has always enjoyed the change in pace that comes with styling a photoshoot. This is because it allows her to focus on something else and be creative while she edits, writes stories, or brainstorms ideas for upcoming work 

Beth’s passion for curating and collecting special objects, textures, things of beauty come even in the form of an old weathered spoon or a stack of vintage books. She is also inspired by color composition when she works instinctually to create something beautiful that only her eyes can see.
